Hi Gabe

Her list for Santa started in September, unprompted by me, I hasten to add, and she said she wanted Barbie ('because my sister's have got Barbie'), Strawberry Shortcake, The Magic roundabout DVD, and now she's added Clifford to the list!

Too much stuff for me to afford. I bought a cheaper version of 'Barbie' when I was in London, a doll like Barbie but Snow White instead from that market I went to, and I got her the DVD she wanted. Couldn't find any toys of Strawberry Shortcake so I bought her some knickers with Strawberry Shortcake on them and I got her some chocolate and a furry jumper from Next. That's all I can afford so she's not getting any Clifford from me.

Maybe I can persuade her dad to get it for her - she put that request in a little late!

When I was a kid I only asked for 1 thing from Santa. Even my other kids didn't ask for so much when they were her age. She's only 3 and she's so materialistic, lol.

Jo.
